I recommend going with 4xanything because the Mac Pro chipset has a quad channel memory controller. Get as many memory from Apple as your budget allows. 3rd Party memory will be cheaper but at this point you cannot be sure it will work as expected. So, the default config of 2x512 is not...

Thanks for the heads-up! In my case, I've been waiting for 8 months to get a new mac. I think I'll be okay with the current display. If the new ones have HDMI with HDCP, then I'll just have to skip all those expensive blue-ray and HD-DVD discs :cool: ..

The hots I have! Ordered it is :) iBook, meet your big brother! I went for the basic 2.66GHz, upped the RAM to 4GB, picked the ATi X1900XT and upsized the harddisk to 500GB. I added wireless and a 30" to top it all off. Ahh.. 3-5 weeks shipping time boehoe! Can't wait to start...

I have .Mac since a few weeks. I like it because of this: - 1GB webspace (my internet provider allows 50MB :rolleyes: ) - Email with a large inbox (my internet provider allows 50MB for email) - Backup application = sweet (quick and easy but still powerfull :cool: ) - Integration with...

Nope, iBooks don't take PCMCIA cards because they don't have slots for them. Powerbooks do (I'm not sure about the 12"). The only solution is the expensive solution: get an airport card from Apple. Or you could try to get one from ebay or another site that sells them. Good luck!

So when are they going to fix the bug with the shuffle where it skips to the next track instead of resuming after pause? This happens with some tracks from ITMS... :mad:

I like this kind of threads so I'll post my setup too: I still have two (2) PC's but am planning to replace them with one PowerMac-class system. It's a difficult time to make a buying decision now that the first intel-Macs have been introduced. The Mac in the picture is the iBook from...

I'm seriously thinking about getting one. One Quad G5 that is. Paired with a 30" cinema display it will be my video-editing station. Has anyone experience with Final Cut Express HD? Should I go for the Pro or are the differences only on the extreme high-end? Anyways, if I buy this...

I have a few solutions to alleviate the headache problem: -Listen only to one song at a time and take numerous breaks -Listen to 1 tenth of the volume you were probably listening to -Listen to high-quality tracks -Listen with a high-quality headphone -Listen in a silent environment My...

I like Screamer. Screamer Screamer 2 Screamer Rally It was fun on my Cyrix P200+ with 32MB RAM, gaming in DOS. A Tseng Labs ET6000 doubled framerates compared to the old Trident 9440. ahhh I wish I could get my hands on these games again, I lost all of them and re-bought Screamer 2...

I've been using OS/2 from 1995 until late into 2000, when I switched to Windows 2000. OS/2 is the best DOS multitasker on the planet and it's fast even with only 8MB RAM. It was a painful switch when I had to go to Windows to continue playing PC-games. If you have an old PC (486..Pentium...

A mini is only a starter... I got an iBook in february ans it's hurting already .. must ... resist urge to ... upgrade .... buy accessories ... instead ugh ;)

I'm using iMovie HD and iDVD on my iBook 1.2GHz/768MB. Speed is ok except when creating the DVD, when everything must be transcoded. Actually, when returning from my last trip (Abu Dhabi), I was editing my vacation videos in the airport while I was waiting for my plane. It's really easy and...

Hi sigmend, I have a question for you about the sleep state. If the white led is on and pulsing, is it garanteed to be asleep? I mean, can the system be running with the white led on? Another thing I discovered: the laptop will turn itself on when I disconnect a USB mouse while it is...

The iBook in my sig driving its internal screen together with the Philips 19" CRT at 1280x960x85Hz. Pure pleasure!

A spanking new iBook 12", pulls in 5 to 6 hours when using low power settings. :cool:

I got my iBook 12" last week. I ordered 768MB RAM because that's all I could afford. Since it's my first mac, I ordered everything BTO so I could start using it right away. I have a lot of applications open all the time: Mail, Safari, Finder, iPhoto, Adium, Address book, iCalendar etc. No...

iBooks only allow you to mirror the LCD to an external monitor. It'll display an exact copy of what is displayed on the internal LCD. This way, it's limited to only 1024x768. Somewhere in the wild (google is your friend), there's a hack (something about a firmware setting that remains until...

I was in the same situation as you. I had an HP laptop (AXP2000+, 256MB, 20GB, 14", Combo drive) and I sold it for half the price of a new fully loaded 12" iBook. I was planning on selling some more stuff like my PS2 that I don't use that often to get the money for the iBook. In the end it...

I've also ordered an iBook. It should arrive somewhere next week. It's my first Mac and I was inspired by the launch of the Mini Mac. I came to the conclusion that a laptop would be more suited for my lifestyle because I am often at my girlfriends place and at work so I have all my stuff with...

The Blakestone engine is a state-of-the-art modification of the original Wolfenstein engine. What about advanced sprite scaling and 286-class artificial intelligence mixed with square rooms and bright colours? :D

I think the guy in the picture has fat fingers (sausages). :) But the size looks great compared to the GBA SP.

In my opinion, the Doom3 engine is the most advanced. HL2 has a lot of cool features such as large levels, physics etc but the lightning is BAD. The unified lightning in the Doom3 engine is the best until now. I'm just hoping that Quake4 or another incarnation of the Doom3 engine will...

to eloj: *** SPOILER *** In the 2nd room without barrels there are a lot of pipes. On one of the pipes there's a valve you have to open. This makes the water rise and allows you to go to the next room by going to the room with all the barrels and swim through the pipe under water. It...

I'm happy with my .130µm 3500+. I've got it for +-2 months and I've been gaming like mad. No reason to wait for a .090µm unless you really need it because it's better at overclocking (not sure?). Stop worrying about the details and start gaming :cool:

I have a dedicated DooM3 CD-Rom drive. The disc never leaves my PC. How's that for [H]ardness? :cool:

I have all my cds on my harddisk in FLAC. I also keep OGG and MP3 versions for various reasons like MP3-player, PDA, girlfriend, etc. Harddisks are cheap and I can't stand the sound of a 128kbit MP3. OGG is better but still not good enough to be used as master for other, lower bitrate copies...

Yeah, you're right, they're too expensive... I thought the boards went for 70€ or so but at 109$, it's certainly not a good deal. I changed my opinion to RIPOFF :cool: On a sidenote: www.alternate.de has a similar frankenstein board with a 2400+ (2Ghz/266) which is called a PRO3300A+ for...

I guess these boards with a soldered duron are quite good for the money but calling them "3200+" is just wrong... :( I've seen them for sale here in Belgium, mostly in ultra-cheap back-to-school configurations. They'll surely keep the kids from gaming too much. :D

VLink is the name of the proprietary protocol that VIA uses for the connection between the north bridge and the south bridge. I believe it's a serial protocol like HyperTransport. The setting you have there could mean anything (I'll have to look it up in the BIOS of my A8V) but if it's...

I also have the 680's and I use the optical input when I'm watching a DVD (PowerDVD outputs through SPDIF) and I use the analog 5.1 connection for games and music. Best of both worlds :cool:

P2 all the way. The P2 has 512KB L2 cache running at 200Mhz The P2 has a 100Mhz FSB The Celeron has 128KB L2 cache running at 466Mhz The Celeron has a 66Mhz FSB The last difference (100Mhz <-> 66Mhz) makes the P2 faster. Make sure the mobo and RAM support 100Mhz operation. If you...

Running like a champ here.. Try the CL3 timings on your memory. I'm using apacer CL3 memory and my machine is as stable as a rock. Not overclocked yet.

Yeah, if I were you, I'd keep it. But in the end, I'm not you :rolleyes: I have a Voodoo5 5000 (the one with 2 chips and a molex connector) and a 2x12MB SLI set. Some day, these will be worth a lot of money. (I hope :rolleyes: ) About XGI: I hope they have success with their next...

I have an Asus A8V rev 1.02 with a 3500+ and 2x512MB Apacer DDR400 CL3. The trick here is to set the memory to CL3, even if your memory supports CL2. Athlon64 can cause a lot of stress for your poor memory chips and makes them work very hard so give them some more relaxed timings. The...

I hope he gets crowed with a beatbar :rolleyes:

LOL, that would be soooo great!!! I remember playing coop through Doom2 for a whole day until we finished the game :( . That was with a serial cable on a Pentium 90 and a 486 66. Ahhh, those memories! This mod is really cool and I hope that someone will recreate all levels from Doom 1 and...

IF you want to upgrade away from onboard sound, then, for all mankind, don't upgrade to anything from Creative. Their cards are great but the drivers are bad. I had nothing but problems with a SB Live 1024. Out of frustration, I got a Hercules Gametheatre XP and never had a problem with that...

It's a shame they don't make the Gametheatre XP anymore... I like the separate box with all possible ins and outs. If you can get one for cheap, I recommend it!
